How He Got Mrs. CleveIand's Photo
From the Washington Post


DR.. de Boutelliere, an artist connect
ed with Cincinnati newspaper, is in
the city this week with an instanta-
neous Photographic camera, collect
ing material for series of illustrated
articles for his paper. He tried for
several days, but without success to
get photograph OF Mrs. Cleveland on

station with his box like camera un-
der his arm, just outside DR.. Sunder-
lands church before morning service
Sunday and waited for Mrs. Cleveland
to arrive Her carriage finally drove
up and the doctor got his machine
ready. Just as she stepped to the
ground he touched q spring and the
picture was taken. 1t was q com.

lust stepped to the ground, and Mrs.
Folsom Is seen still in the carriage,
but leaning forward and Just about to
step out, while around the carriage
stands the usual crowd of sightseers.
Mrs Cleveland saw the doctor just rs
he sprung his machine. She took IN
the situation at a glance, and an
amused smile passed over her face,
giving it very pleasant expression
in the picture.

Diseases Caused by Impure Ice.
From the Sanitary Engineer.

From the Sanitary Engineer.
Questions as TO the dangers to
health connected with the use OF ice
taken from certain localities are oil
great interest, the more so since dis.
ease produced by the use OF contami.
mated ice could rarely be traced to its
true cause, which in most cases would
probably not be even suspected. At
tention was in fact not called to this
matter until in 1875, when an epi.
demic of diarrhea at Rye Beach, n H,
was clearly traced to ice cut from a
contaminated pond.
Since that time the same cause has
been suspected or proved in about
half dozen cases OF occurrence oi
typhoid fever or of diarrhea. Ger.
talnly, this is q very small proper.
tion OF bad results as compared with
the almost universal use of ice, es.
pecially when we remember that peo-
pie will cut ice from streams or ponds
that they would consider too impure
to furnish drinking water be-
cause they think that freezing
purifies the water. While pu-
rihcation of water by freezing does oc.
cur to considerable extent, it is by no
means complete or to be relied on.
Freezing does not destroy the vitality
of some bacteria, nor does it specially
tend to free the water from dead or.
ganic matter. That freezing will not
destroy the life OF the bacillus of ty.
phoid fever is shown by DR.. Billings.

The Latest Yankee Craze

including the chimneys-the material
being fire proof as well as water proof.
The inside finish is to be in imitation

straw lumber taking perfectly the sur
face and color OF any desired wood.
This straw house is, in the first place.

kee has succeeded, not in showing us
how to make bricks without straw,
but how TO produce timber from
straw. If, after this brilliant exhibi-
tion Off inventive genius, We do not
bow down and worship him as the

ourselves lost TO all sense OF what is
proper under the circumstances.

BERLIN, March 3.-The new German
Reichstag was opened to-day. The
Emperor's speech was read from the
throne. In it he says he is gratified
at the benevolent disposition the
Pope has shown towards the empire.
The foreign policy of the empire is con-
tinually directed to the maintenance
OF peace with all powers and especially
with Germacy's neighbors. The for
eign relations o. the government are
the came as when the last Reichstag
was opened. If the present Reichstag,
without hesitation or division, gives
unanimous expression to the resolve
that the nation will put forth its full
strength in full panoply. now and at
all times against any attack upon our
frontiers, such resolutios, even before
carried out, will materially strengthen
the guarantees OF peace and remove
the doubts which the late parliamen-
tary debates may have inspired. The
emperor feels assured that the
Reichstag by its resolutions, will give
the Federal governments q national
policy on safe basis, and derives from
this conviction the confident hope
that God viii bless his efforts to pre-,
serve the peace and security of Ger
many.
The same internal bills that were
submitted to the previous Reichstag
will again be offered. The creation of
new sources of revenue, and the eform
OF the methods OF taxetiOn are urged.

Effects of EHorbitant Demands by Haver-
hill Shoemaker.
HAvERHILL, MASS, March 4. The
shoe manufacturers association, in
view of the rapid withdrawal of shoe
manufacturers from this city, have
issued manifesto stating that with
in the last two years firms manufacture
ing $1,O00,OOO worth OF goods per
annum, representing tenth of the
entire products, and employing 900
operatives, have been driven away by
the exorbitant demands of labor Or
ganizations, and it seems probable
that from similar cause, an equal
amount of business will be lost with
in the next few months. 1t is believed
that by proper concession on
the part of :. labor and by
property owners this may be avoided.
1t is stated that country factories now
produce many OF the cheaper grades
formerly made here, at lower price
than they can be manufactured by
local factories, and labor organiza-
tions. while clamoring against cheap
prison labor, have by their demands
built up a body OF low-priced
workmen in the country towns
over whom they can exert little
influence and whose competition is
feared. The advantages Of the COM
mon manufacturing center are go
great however, that it is believed by
general concessions on the part OF the
operatives, Haverhill may retain its
business. manufacturers have in the
past made such general advances to

Anarchy in Bulgaria.

Telegrams from Bulgaria have been
received stating that the Sllistrla gar
rison occupies the detile before the
city, and 10y virtue OF the position so
held prevents the passage through the
defle of the garrisons from Rustchuk
and Shumla on their way to attack
the revolters at Silestria. The
opposing forces, the dispatches
say, now confront each other,
but as yet no conflict has taken
place between them. Another insur-
rectionary movement is reported to
have taken plBce near TatarBazard-
iik, q short distance from Philippop-
oils. Roumania is massing troops
along her frontier as measure OF pre-
caution. Turkish troops are being
concentrated along the Roumelian
frontier.
BUCHAREST, March Sit is an
nounced here that the revolt OF the
troops st Silistria has been sup-
pressed. A colonel who took part IN
| the mutiny was killed. During the ab-
scence OF the garrison from RutstChuk,
a revolt took place there. Firing has
also been heard in the direction
| OF V!uCSCNo. AOHIIluuhN htiCh ~
| tween Roumania and Bulgaria
has been stopped. The leaders OF the
insurgents at Silistria have crossed
the Danube and have been placed III
custody by the Roumanian author
tiles. The opinion here is that the
outbreak at Silistria was merely
intended as q diversion to draw
troops from Rustchuk, which IS
is the real centre OF the revolt.
PARIS, March IA telegram from
Giugervo says that risings have taken
place at Tirnova and other places,
/ and that the Insurgents are reported
/ to be masters OF affairs at Tirnova.
| Communication between Sofia and the
provinces is interrupted. Anarchy Is
/ spreading in Bulgaria.

and loyal troops. Two officers and
sixteen privates who were engaged IN

To Southern Home-Seekers.

The advance in price of Western lands, the
increased severity of Northern winters, and
the consequent high price of fuel, has turned
the attention of farmers, home-seekers, and
others of delicate constitution 20 the mild cli-
mate, cheap fuel, and w-priced lands of the
South Northern farmers, unacquainted with
sugar-cane and cotton growing, have asked
the question, Why cannot fruit growing and
stock-rasing be made to pay in the South9
TO discuss these questions, so important TO
those seeking homes in the South agricult-
ural conventions have been held of late in
Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana, and it
has been proven beyond doubt that diversI-
fed farming can be carried on in the South even
more proftably than in the North Lands are
being seeded down, creameries built and
Northern methods of farming quite generally
introduced The result of all this has turned
the tide OF emigration Southwark and the
Illinois Central Railroad the direct line be-
tween Chicago and New Orleans, and the dl-
rect route to the principal markets of the
South West, and North, have shown their
confidence in the agricultural possibilities of
the South by naming the following conyen-
lent land points, viz: Jackson, Tenn Aber-
deem and Jackson, Miss. and Hammond La

COttonseed Oil Mills.

GALVESTON, Tex, Feb. 2S.-In an
interview this afternoon P. d. Ar
mour stated that a company would
be organized next week in Chicago,
with several million dollars capital,
for the purpose OF Immediately erect
ing throughout the South twelve
gigantic cottonseed oil mills Mr.. Ar
mour and his partners will hold q
controlling interest in the big COM
pany. The associate stockholders
will comprise about all the leading
soap manufacturers in the United
States. The entire output OF
oil from the mills will be
taken by the stockholders and
utilized in their factories and lard
rending establishments. Mr.. Armour
said his firm alone consumed one-fifth
OF the present output OF cottonseed
oil. The new enterprise was brought
about primarily by the competing at
titude assumed by the American Cot
tonseed Oil Trust Company toward
Armour & Co. and other lard manu-
facturers. The OIL Trust Company
some time ago purchased the render
ing establishment OF Fairbanks & Co.
and Washington Butchers Sons at
Chicago. This entrance of an oil COM
pany into the domain OF pork and
lard now eliminates in the formation
of this gigantic company in the cot
tonseed oil business.
